His mother Takesha Thomas and father Lanre Haastrup, both 36, launched a Charlie Gard-style legal fight and were appealing against the High Court decision last month to switch off their son's life support system.

Judges ruled in favour of hospital bosses who said that giving further intensive care treatment to little Isaiah was "futile, burdensome and not in his best interests".

Speaking outside High Court today, Mr Haastrup, from Peckham, South East London, blasted doctors for their treatment.

"We are happy that we are fighting for our son who was negligently harmed," said the distraught father.
